Bin Day: Why dirty fashion is still inspiring designers.

But before that, those reusable, pound-store, and scrap items were repurposed by Louis Vuitton in 2007. A decade later, Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia sent giant shopping bags to the SS17 runway. Later that year, the house released a style reminiscent of IKEA’s blue Frakta bag for £1,365 (a huge markup compared to the Frakta’s 40p retail price). In fact, it inspired him to open a Swedish furniture store. .“An announcement on the website on how to identify an original IKEA Frakta bag.
